I've had this for about 2 years. I've rebuilt the engine, carb, completely rewired, new tires with refreshed wheels, and added LED headlights and tail light. I still need to go through the hydraulic system and work on a flooding issue.  20151215_180117.jpg

Yeah! They're great in combination with the rear weights.  I used it last year snow plowing and didn't have a traction issue at all.

Yeah, I own several mini-bikes. The one in the background is going to be a pit bike with a 125cc. It will be a rat rod theme to match my 61 Econoline.

Uh , no...it was a rusted basket case when I got it , just solid engine and trans . Had to put bushings in nearly everything to tighten it back up and last year the steering fan gear broke when a stone or something got into it . Need to get him to bring it over on a nice day and swap that out , along with repairing the steering shaft as well . He's ran the snot out of it , other than that gear breaking it hasn't missed a beat although the 12 is getting tired a bit ...

Paint isn't that great - just a quick shoot in high heat and quite a bit of orange peel in it . Didn't have enough time nor the place to really get it perfect , but it still looks great after all the work it's done .
